The plans (for now) are on the about tab up top the page. I need to make a list so I can put some more detailed info there. One of the items is definatly ALL NEW wiring. The one photo under the hood from the drivers side shows a wiring nitemare!!!

I checked out your garage and saw you did vehicle wiring and thought yeah, I’ll need to give you a call!!!

Neat Truck Greg! That body style would look good with about any paint job, but I would lean towards flat black with either old school flames or pinstripes.

Diffenantly old school flames! It’s the base color I can’t decide on but, I’ve got plenty of time to figure it out! I actually just found a reprint of the operatrs manual for the holmes wrecker bed!

Waiting for a guy to bring me a different truck frame. He got a newer complete Superduty truck that he bid on alot of other junk with. Hopefully he’ll bring it out here soon. I’m taking the frame/chassis and anything else for Mater. Then he’ll junk the rest.

I don’t know but, it looks good! This article is why I did the manifolds on the wagon like I did. I smoothed them and painted them white!

The trucks old manifolds are junk but, the ones in the picture are an orginal type of ford upgrade they did for more horse power. So, they’ll look period correct!
